The Bucket List

Doug and I spent a lot of time driving here and there this weekend, which either gets us into trouble (like the time we decided to buy our current house before we had even been inside), or, it gives us a chance to plot and plan. For years, when we’ve seen something we love, we say “We should do that sometime!” So, we made a list of all of the renovation and restoration things we want to do. We included things that we had always wanted to do, and have actually accomplished as well. I don’t feel like that’s cheating – more that it’s actually writing down goals that we once had!

Some of this is easily accomplishable. Some of it would require winning the lottery – which would require, I guess, actually PLAYING the lottery. Some involves our house, and some would have to be elsewhere. It’s just a start – it’ll be fun to add to this list, and see where we succeed, and where we fail miserably. But, that’s part of the fun, right?

Anything in bold and striked, we’ve accomplished!

After reading our list, tell us what’s on your list. And what you think is fun (or insane) about ours!

We hope to do 11 soon, but we have some ceiling and wall demo to do first! 46 is in the works – the landing light is perfectly suited, and we even have a light we think we will use! I didn’t cross 47 off, because we still have to router for the hardware and install it. So I felt I couldn’t cross it off with 95% done! Soon!!!

I used to teach stained glass classes! I still have my equipment, however finding a local stained-glass supply is a bit of a challenge these days. I also like to garden and have 15 raised-bed gardens….the only way to garden for busy people! they are much easier to care for and look neat and tidy in the lawn……Ohhhh, a Victorian Herb garden would be AWESOME!
